Many Christians believe that sin doesn’t matter and that you can live in sin and be saved at the same time. They speak constantly about grace and use the grace of God as a cloak to approve of sin. They believe and say that by faith in Jesus Christ and by His sacrifice and blood you have been made righteous. Therefore it doesn’t matter how you live. You can live the way you want to, because the sacrifice and the blood of Jesus ensure that you stay saved. But ofcourse this is a partial truth aka a lie of the devil that many Christians believe. Because what does the Bible say about living in sin (perseverar en el pecado) and salvation? Can you live in sin and be saved according to the Bible or not?
What is the false doctrine of the Nicolaitans?
The Nicolaitans were such a group that followed their leader Nicolas and his false doctrine. His false doctrines deceived the Nicolaitans and caused them to deviate from the sound doctrine of Jesus Christ and go astray. The Nicolaitans believed they could keep sinning because they lived under grace and you still live in a sinful flesh.
The Nicolaitans used the grace of God, so that they didn’t have to die to the flesh and put off the old man and put on the new man. They could keep doing the works of the flesh and live sin, sin sentirme condenado, thinking they were saved and escaping the punishment for sin, que es la muerte.
But these Nicolaitians didn’t know Jesus experientially. They had no knowledge of the Bible and didn’t have the Holy Spirit.
En cambio, they followed the words of their leader, who preached this false doctrine; this lie. (Leer también: La doctrina y las obras de los nicolaítas.).
Although the Nicolaitans were misled and believed this false doctrine and lived by it, because they considered it as the truth, Jesus hated the doctrine and works of the Nicolaitans.
The church at Ephesus hated the works of the Nicolaitans as well, al igual que Jesús.
Sin embargo, the church at Pergamos (Pergamum), where the throne of satan was, embraced the doctrine of the Nicolaitans. Because some of them held the doctrine of the Nicolaitans.
Jesus didn’t allow the doctrine and works of the Nicolaitans, which caused the church to be defiled. But Jesus called the church at Pergamos to repentance. If they wouldn’t repent, Jesus would come unto them quickly and fight against them with the sword of His mouth. (Revelación 2:6, 15-16 (Leer también: What is the throne of satan?)
The devil has deceived many churches with the same lie
We don’t know if the church of Pergamos listened and obeyed the words of Jesus. What we do know is, that the devil has succeeded again, by deceiving many Christians with the same lie and the same doctrine.
The devil has deceived many Christians, by making them believe that it doesn’t matter how you live and that you can live in sin, because you are not saved and justified by your works, but you are saved and justified by the redemptive work of Jesus Christ.
De nuevo, this is a partial truth that is preached. Sí, you are indeed saved by the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. His blood has cleansed you from all your sins and iniquities and has made you holy and righteous and by which you are saved. No one can earn his salvation by his works. Up to here, it’s correct.
But… The blood of Jesus is not a permit to sin. The blood of Jesus doesn’t give you the right to persevere in sin.
The sacrifice and the blood of Jesus are not the same as the sacrifice and the blood of animals. The sacrifice and blood of animals provided a temporary atonement for the sins of the people. But the sacrifice and the blood of Jesus don’t provide a temporary atonement but deal with the sinful nature, which reigns in the flesh and from which sin proceeds.
El Antiguo Pacto
En el Antiguo Pacto, which was sealed by the blood of animals, the people of God constantly fell back into the same sin. Because they were still carnal and their spirit was still under the dominion of death.
They were trapped in the (pecaminoso) flesh and the flesh ruled their lives. Therefore they constantly had to make atonement for their sins.
But despite the many sacrifices and the blood that was shed, nothing changed in man’s nature and nothing changed about man’s fallen state and nature. Which is the case in the New Covenant, which is sealed by the blood of Jesus Christ. (Leer también: ‘What is the difference between the sacrifice of animals and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ?').
The New Covenant
En el nuevo pacto, it shouldn’t be that those who are saved and belong to God’s people fall into the same sin over and over again and persevere and live in sin. Because they have been delivered from the power of sin and death, through the death of their flesh in Christ. This was not the case in the Old Covenant. So if those, who live in the New Covenant keep sinning then they are not delivered from the power of sin and death (Oh. Hebreos 9, 1 John 1:5-7))
En el nuevo pacto, man has become a new creation through regeneration in Christ, which means the death of the flesh and the resurrection of the spirit from the dead. (Leer también: ‘La circuncisión en el Nuevo Pacto').
The new man is born of God and transferred from the power of darkness into the Kingdom of God, donde Jesucristo es Rey y reina.
Therefore darkness has no more power over the new man.
The flesh no longer reigns, but Christ reigns in the new man. Since the flesh is dead and the spirit is alive.
Only when the flesh has died and the spirit of man is raised from the dead and the new man has entered the Kingdom of God and walks after the Spirit according to the law of this Kingdom in the light, man shall be saved.
Todos, who is born of God stays in Him and doesn’t sin
¿Qué diremos entonces? ¿Continuaremos en el pecado?, para que abunde la gracia? Dios no lo quiera. ¿Cómo vamos a, que están muertos al pecado, vivir más tiempo en ella? ¿No sabéis, que todos los que fuimos bautizados en Jesucristo fuimos bautizados en su muerte? Por lo tanto somos sepultados juntamente con Él por el bautismo para muerte.: que así como Cristo resucitó de entre los muertos por la gloria del Padre, Así también nosotros debemos caminar en novedad de vida. (romanos 6:1-4)
Quien permanece en él, no peca: todo aquel que peca no le ha visto, ni lo conocí. Niños pequeños, que ningún hombre os engañe: el que hace justicia es justo, así como Él es justo. El que comete pecado es del diablo.; porque el diablo peca desde el principio. Para esto fue manifestado el Hijo de Dios, para destruir las obras del diablo. Todo aquel que nace de Dios no comete pecado.; porque su simiente permanece en él: y no puede pecar, because he is born of God.En esto se manifiestan los hijos de Dios, y los hijos del diablo: Todo aquel que no hace justicia no es de Dios., ni el que no ama a su hermano (1 John 3:6-10)
A person may repent and be baptized in water and receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit, but if there is no change in the life of the person and the person keeps doing the works of the flesh and of darkness and keeps walking in unrighteousness in darkness, then the life of the person shows, that the person has not repented and is not born again in Christ. Since the flesh in which sin reigns and from which sin proceeds, sigue vivo. The flesh has not been crucified in Christ.
The person has not become a new creation and is not yielded to Jesus Christ; the Word and the Holy Spirit and doesn’t do what They say. Pero la persona sigue siendo la vieja creación, who belongs to the devil . Therefore the person still lives in disobedience to God and His Word after the will of the flesh in obedience to the will of the devil and sin and persevere in sin or fall back into the same sin over and over again. (Leer también: ‘La voluntad de Dios versus la voluntad del diablo.‘ y ‘La armadura de la oscuridad').
The true gospel of Jesus Christ calls to repentance
Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel (Marca 1:14-15)
And said unto them, Así está escrito, y así convenía a Cristo sufrir, y resucitar de entre los muertos al tercer día: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His Name among all nations, comenzando en jerusalén. Y vosotros sois testigos de estas cosas. (lucas 24:46-48)
Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, Mi hijo, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, y vive? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, pero doloroso: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby (Hebreos 12:5-11)
The true gospel calls to repentance and sanctification and disciplines and corrects and chastises. The modern gospel, que no es un evangelio, doesn’t contain these elements.
The modern gospel is a humanistic gospel (message) that pleases the ears, y sentimientos, and emotions of the people in the church.
This gospel welcomes everyone and everyone may stay the way they are. Everything is allowed and tolerated, nada está mal. God loves everyone, tal como son. And so sin is embraced instead of condemned and removed.
Because you have to respect others and forgive and love others instead of condemning them. ¿Pero es eso cierto??
Where is it written in the Bible, after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, that you have to accept sin and that sin in the church must be tolerated? That if you live in sin you are saved? Where is it written that you must leave those, who persevere in sin alone?
Where is it written that it doesn’t matter if preachers, en otra parte, and other leaders of the church become disobedient to God and His Word, due to the will, and the lusts and desires of their flesh and fall in sin and/or persevere in sin? (Leer también: 'El espíritu de Elí')
This is nowhere written in the Bible because sin is rebellion and disobedience to God and His will. And how can those, who don’t walk in the will of God and are disobedient to His Word, teach others to walk in the will of God and to be obedient to the Word, so that they will grow up into the image of Christ?
The new creation shall fulfill the righteousness of the law
Aquellos, who sin and live in sin and refuse to repent of their lifestyle, show by their works that they don’t belong to Christ and are not saved, but that they still belong to the devil and are not the servants of righteousness but the servants of sin. They are carnal and still listen to the devil and do his will and serve the devil through their flesh. (Leer también: 'The commandments of God vs the commandments of the devil').
God has given His commandments to make His will and His nature and righteousness known and to reveal sin. Jesus has never annulled the commandments of the law. But Jesus fulfilled them by walking after the Spirit in the will of the Father in righteousness. Y esos, who belong to Jesus Christ shall walk after the Spirit instead of the flesh and fulfill the righteousness of the law (Oh. Mateo 5:17-18, romanos 3:31; 8:4 (Leer también: '¿Puede el hombre cumplir la ley??').
“Whosoever does not bear his cross and come after Me can’t be My disciple”
Jesús les respondió, En verdad, en verdad, te digo, Todo aquel que comete pecado es siervo del pecado. (John 8:34)
And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, If any man come to me, and hate not his father, y madre, y esposa, y niños, y hermanos, y hermanas, sí, and his own life also, él no puede ser mi discípulo. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, y ven detrás de mí, cannot be My disciple (lucas 14:25-27)
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Si algún hombre viene detrás de mí, que se niegue a sí mismo, y tomar su cruz, y sígueme. Porque quienquiera que salve su vida, la perderá.: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it (Mateo 16:24-25, also Mark 8:34-35, lucas 9:23-24)
Jesus never spoke about accepting people with a sinful lifestyle. He didn’t preach that sinners could live in sin and stay the way they were and be saved.
Jesus was not a Promoter of sin! He didn’t speak about respecting and tolerating sin.
De lo contrario, Jesus dijo, that He hated sin and called the sinners to repentance. Porque todo el mundo, who commits sin is a servant of sin and is not saved.
Jesus dijo, that if anyone still loves his own life, and doesn’t deny himself, and doesn’t put Jesus above all, then the person can’t be Jesus’ disciple.
Jesus dijo, that if any man wants to come to Him and follow Him, then the person must deny himself and take up his cross.
Because if you don’t lose your own life in this world, you shall not find life.
Many churches tolerate sin from both church members as church leaders
En el libro del Apocalipsis, Jesus didn’t speak to the various churches that He respected their behavior and the doctrines and works of the darkness.
Jesus didn’t embrace sin, since sin is the will of the devil. But Jesus commanded the churches to remove the sin, because if they wouldn’t, they would reap the consequences of their disobedience.
Hay muchas iglesias hoy en día, where everything is tolerated. They not only tolerate everything from the members of the church, who say they are saved but live in sin and keep sinning. But they also tolerate everything from the preachers and leaders of the church, who are carnal and keep doing the works of the flesh.
Mintiendo, infiel, fraude, idolatría (es decir. Filosofías orientales, yoga, consciencia, meditación, artes marciales, Reiki, acupuntura), brujería, adivinación, fornicación, adulterio, extramarital affairs, divorcio, viviendo juntos solteros, sexual relationships outside of marriage, pornografía, homosexualidad, and all other (sexual) impureza, aborto, eutanasia, abusive drinking, etc.. It has all become very normal and is not considered as sin anymore.
The conscience of many Christians is seared with a hot iron and they don’t even know it. They are blinded by the lies of darkness and allow everything.
¿No sabéis que los injustos no heredarán el reino de Dios? No te dejes engañar: ni fornicarios, ni idólatras, ni adúlteros, ni afeminado, ni abusadores de sí mismos con la humanidad, ni ladrones, ni codicioso, ni borrachos, ni los injuriadores, ni extorsionadores, heredará el reino de Dios(1 corintios 6:9-10)
“Caminar en el Espíritu, y no satisfagáis los deseos de la carne”
Esto lo digo entonces, Caminar en el Espíritu, y no satisfagáis los deseos de la carne. Porque la carne codicia contra el Espíritu, y el espíritu contra la carne: y estos son contrarios el uno al otro: para que no podáis hacer las cosas que queréis. Pero si sois guiados por el Espíritu, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, cuales son estos; Adulterio, fornicación, impureza, lascivia, Idolatría, brujería, odio, diferencia, emulaciones, ira, lucha, sediciones, herejías, envidias, asesinatos, embriaguez, juergas, y cosas como: de las que te cuento antes, como también te he dicho en otro tiempo, que los que hacen tales cosas no heredarán el reino de Dios (Gálatas 5:16-21)
Pero la Biblia (la palabra) is clear and says, que aquellos, who do these things are not born of God and don’t belong to God,, y no heredará el Reino de Dios (Oh. John 3:3-5, 1 John 3:8-9; 5:18)
Many Christians serve the devil instead of God
Many Christians don’t stand in the service of God and serve God, but stand in the service of the devil and serve him. Because instead of preaching the truth and the gospel of Jesus Christ and reconciling people to God, they preach lies and lead the people astray and make them walk on the broad way that leads to destruction. Because the way of the world doesn’t lead to eternal life but leads to death (O.A. 2 Petrus 2, Judas (Leer también: Destruir las obras de Dios en lugar de las obras del diablo).
They are masters in adjusting the truth of God to the will and desires of man and the truth of the world, building bridges with the world and with other religions and philosophies, and adjusting the words of God to approve sin and compromise with sinners.
But preaching the sound gospel of Jesus Christ and calling sinners to repentance and delivering them from the power of sin and death and standing on the Word and keep standing on the Word and representing, preaching and bringing the Kingdom of God and walk in the authority of Jesus Christ on earth, they don’t know anything about and are not familiar with.
Many preachers and elders (líderes) of the churches don’t solve the problems. En cambio, they allow the people to live in sin and leave them in their sins, because they don’t want to hurt or offend anybody’s feelings and don’t want to get involved and cause problems. And so they let everything run its course, hoping that the problems will solve themselves. But problems don’t get solved by themselves but go from bad to worse. (Leer también: ¿Qué dice la Biblia sobre el pecado en la iglesia??).
Jesus gave His life to deal with the sin problem
Quien Él mismo llevó nuestros pecados en Su cuerpo sobre el madero., que nosotros, estar muerto a los pecados, debe vivir para la justicia: por cuyas llagas fuisteis sanados. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls (1 Pedro 2:24-25)
Jesus gave His life and suffered immensely to deal with the sin problem. The sin problem didn’t solve by itself. But the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, el hijo de Dios, was needed to solve the sin problem. It was needed to redeem man from sin and death and restore the fallen position of man and reconcile man to God.
Jesus gave His life for man, so that man could be free from the power of sin and death and live in freedom. Because sin is bondage. Sin doesn’t lead to eternal life, as the devil made many Christians believe. But sin leads to death.
Porque los que son según la carne se preocupan por las cosas de la carne.; pero los que son conforme al Espíritu, las cosas del Espíritu. Porque el ocuparse de la carne es muerte; pero tener una mentalidad espiritual es vida y paz.. Porque la mente carnal es enemistad contra Dios.: porque no está sujeto a la ley de Dios, tampoco puede serlo (romanos 8:5-7)
Alguien, who lives after the flesh and is carnally minded shall persevere in sin.
Therefore if someone perseveres in sin, it shows that the person is after the flesh and is carnally minded and has not yielded to the Spirit and the law of God (la ley del espíritu), but lives in enmity against God and doesn’t love God and doesn’t belong to Him, but still belongs to the devil and death.
If you love God you will keep His commandments
Because if you love God, you will keep His commandments instead of being prideful and rebellious and disobey the Word and live in sin (Oh. éxodo 20:6, Deuteronomio 5:10, John 14:15, 23)
To be carnally minded is death. Porque todo el mundo, who lives in sin and keeps sinning and doesn’t repent shall deserve death and not, as is preached in many churches, life and be saved (romanos 1:24-32)
What does it mean to not live under the law but under grace?
How often do people say, “I don’t live under the law but under grace”. While they live in disobedience to God and His Word after the flesh in sin, just like the world. So what does it mean that you don’t live under the law but under grace? What is truly written in the Bible about not living under the law but under grace?
Por lo tanto, no reine el pecado en tu cuerpo mortal, para que la obedezcáis en sus concupiscencias. Ni entreguéis vuestros miembros al pecado como instrumentos de injusticia: sino que sométanse a Dios, como los que están vivos de entre los muertos, y vuestros miembros como instrumentos de justicia para con Dios. Porque el pecado no se enseñoreará de vosotros: porque no estáis bajo la ley, pero bajo la gracia. ¿Qué, entonces?? ¿Pecaremos?, porque no estamos bajo la ley, pero bajo la gracia? Dios no lo quiera. ¿No sabéis, a quien os entreguéis siervos para obedecer, Vosotros sois siervos a quienes obedecéis; ya sea del pecado para muerte, o de obediencia a justicia? Pero gracias a Dios, que fuisteis siervos del pecado, pero vosotros habéis obedecido de corazón aquella forma de doctrina que os fue entregada. Siendo, pues, liberados del pecado, Os convertisteis en siervos de la justicia (romanos 6:12-18
Porque cuando erais siervos del pecado, Estabais libres de la justicia. ¿Qué fruto teníais entonces en aquellas cosas de las que ahora os avergonzáis? porque el fin de esas cosas es la muerte. Pero ahora, siendo liberados del pecado, y se convierten en siervos de Dios, Tenéis vuestro fruto para santidad, y el fin de la vida eterna. Porque la paga del pecado es muerte; pero el don de Dios es vida eterna por medio de Jesucristo nuestro Señor (romanos 6:20-23)
aquellos, who live in sin lives under the law
Todos, who walks after the flesh and keeps doing the works of the flesh and therefore perseveres in sin lives under the dominion (autoridad) of sin and death and therefore lives under the law of sin and death, que reina en la carne.
The only way to ensure that you no longer live under the law but under grace, is through the death of the flesh in Christ. It’s through regeneration in Him and sanctification; putting off the old man and putting on the new man. (Leer también: Deja al viejo y Ponte el hombre nuevo).
Aquellos, who live in sin are not in Christ and are not saved
Por tanto, ahora ninguna condenación hay para los que están en Cristo Jesús., que no andan según la carne, pero según el Espíritu. Porque la ley del Espíritu de vida en Cristo Jesús me ha librado de la ley del pecado y de la muerte. (romanos 8:1-2)
Pero si sois guiados por el Espíritu, vosotros no estáis bajo la ley (Gálatas 5:18)
Quien permanece en él, no peca.: todo aquel que peca no le ha visto, ni lo conocí (1 John 3:6)
Por lo tanto, people may say they are saved and are not under the law but under grace, but if they still allow sin to reign as king in their lives, by obeying the lusts and desires of the flesh and therefore live in sin, then they are not living under grace. By living after the flesh and doing the works of the flesh, they still live under the law.
Todos, who is not made alive in Christ by the resurrection of the spirit from the dead and doesn’t walk after the Spirit, but still lives under the authority (dominio)s of sin and death, still lives under the law.
Todos, who by faith is born again in Christ and saved, and abides in Him, shall not (live in) pecado. Como una cuestión de hecho, it is written that everyone, who sins has never seen Him, and neither has known Him.
The Word is clear, que aquellos, who allow sin to reign as king in their lives and obey sin by living in sin, are not delivered and are not saved. But they still live under the authority of sin and death and their final destination shall be the kingdom of death (infierno, infierno). Since the fruit of death is sin and the wages of sin is death and not eternal life.
¿Puedes vivir en pecado y ser salvo??
He that is of God heareth God’s words: Por tanto, no los oís, porque no sois de Dios. Then answered the Jews, y le dijo, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? Jesús respondió, I have not a devil; but I honour My Father, and ye do dishonour Me. And I seek not Mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. En verdad, en verdad, te digo, If a man keep My saying, he shall never see death (John 8:47-51)
Pero todo hombre es tentado, cuando se deja llevar por su propia lujuria, y seducido. Entonces, cuando la concupiscencia concibió, engendra pecado: y el pecado, Cuando esté terminado, da a luz la muerte (Jaime 1:14-15)
“presta atención, hermanos de religion, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God”
presta atención, hermanos de religion, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Porque hemos sido hechos partícipes de Cristo, Si mantenemos firme el principio de nuestra confianza hasta el fin (hebreo 3:11-14)
And He said unto me, It is done. Yo soy Alfa y Omega, the beginning and the end. Al que tenga sed le daré gratuitamente de la fuente del agua de la vida.. El que venciere heredará todas las cosas.; y yo seré su Dios, y él será mi hijo. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, y asesinos, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, tendrán su parte en el lago que arde con fuego y azufre: cual es la muerte segunda (Revelación 21:6-8)
¿Puedes vivir en pecado y ser salvo?? No, you can’t live in sin and be saved. Solo esos, who are born again in Christ and are born of God and have become a new creation (hijo de Dios) and submit to Jesus Christ and God the Father and listen to the Word and the Holy Spirit and obey and do the Word and walk after the Spirit and live in righteousness, they shall not see death but shall inherit eternal life.
Sin reigns until death; death in Christ or natural death
The fact of the matter is, that sin reigns as king in people’s lives until death. Sin embargo, the people determine until which death this is; the death in Christ or natural death
A person can allow sin to reign as king in his lives until his repentance and the regeneration in Christ, when the flesh dies in Him. Desde ese momento, the person is delivered from the power of the devil and the law of sin and death. A través de la resurrección del espíritu de entre los muertos, sin and death no longer have authority over the person. But the person has been made free and by walking after the law of the Spirit as an overcomer in Christ the person shall inherit eternal life.
Or a person can allow sin to reign as king in his life until the person dies a natural death, whereby the spirit of man remains under the authority of sin and death unto his death. The person shall not inherit eternal life, but shall go to the kingdom of death (infierno) and on the Day of Judgment be cast into the eternal lake of fire and experience the second death.
